Travel Profile - organizing Personal Preferences

Key Points and Discussion Highlights:

1. Self-Attested Expertise for Potentially Dangerous Activities (Skiing):

   • Allows individuals to declare their experience level in activities such as skiing, offering flexibility.

   • It can be a starting point for discussions (traveler/travel provider) when determining service offerings (e.g., ski resorts).

   • There are concerns about the reliability of self-assessed expertise or abilities, as users may exaggerate their skills or underplay/underreport their limitations, which may lead to a negative outcome for the traveller (disappointment or injury).

     • Using the example of self-attested downhill skiing expertise (as a Things-to-do/activity), Steven pointed out the relative nature of expertise (e.g., skiing on a "double black diamond" at Blue Mountain versus Whistler).

     • Carly noted that regional variations in ski difficulty grading (e.g., European vs. North American) could complicate the value of self-attested expertise​
